Some of the groups are led by graduates of the Awakening Women trainings, and this is written next to the group. Awakening Women Institute celebrates and supports women in starting their own groups, however, we are not in the position to officially endorse any of the groups listed here.

Another note:
What you name your temple group is up to you. All we request is that you use something other than Awakening Women, as that is a registered trademark. Thank you for your understanding.

Ancient Ways of Empowerment (AWE)
Location: Eastbay/Walnut Creek, CA, USA
There is a longing deep within all of us -- a longing to be loved, known, heard, seen... a longing to be safe and free. For as far back as can be known, women have gathered to share, collaborate, support and honor one another in ways only we know how to do. This is an ancient sisterhood ~ a sacred circle of Yoginis. We look within for all we seek, allow space for compassion and love for all things. We enjoy a life of awakening and of purpose. I feel particularly skilled to hold space for what temple practice is. I am committed to the spiritual nature of embodied feminine practices.Teresa is a graduate of the Women’s Group Facilitator Training.

A Sanctuary For Mindful Femininity
Location: Boca Raton, Florida, USA
There is an inherent gift in true friendship and a real deep connection between women. This is what we are seeking when we spend this time together on a Sunday afternoon. You will find that true spiritual work does not require being away on a five day retreat. It does not take place only when you are stepping away from the routine of your life. The real work happens every moment of every day and is expressed in how you are with yourself and how you are with others.
Come play with us. Come laugh and cry with us. You will be heard. You will be seen. You will be loved.

Lawrence Women's Temple
Location: Lawrence, Kansas
Lawrence Women's Temple is a sacred space for women to come together to practice conscious embodiment of their brilliant divine nature, in all her forms. Utilizing silence, meditation, movement, deep questioning, and respectful touch, we deepen into the flowing waters of our inner lives through the portal of embodiment practice. Here, all is welcome in our experience. As we move from a mental experience of life into our bodies, we loosen our grip on the mental narrative of who and what we are, so that we can embody a greater truth. We work with emotions and sensations as energy that moves, rather than defines or limits us. Jennifer is a graduate of the Temple Mama training.

Women's Temple
Location: Grail Haven, Mt Tamborine (hinterlands of the Gold Coast), Australia
We create a circle that is safe and supportive to allow us to explore feelings within the body. In doing so we recognize that what we label as ‘good’ and ‘bad’ emotions is simply Source expressing itself in the moment. We practice dropping into that expression, being curious about it, breathing into it and ultimately allowing that to bring us back to Source.
